Fred,  Thank you so much for posting the picture of Uncle Bill.  You know, I met him at our first Mid Atlantic Allis Chalmers Club formative meeting at Dave's in Lineboro.   He was a proud member of our "Greatest Generation".  A person I always looked forward to seeing.  I was so sorry when he passed but treasure the time we had together.
Miss all at the Mid Atlantic Allis Chalmers Club.  Loved attending the meetings.  Perhaps, if I make it that long, I can see the Gathering of the Orange co-sponsored by Mid Atlantic Allis Chalmers Club - when it comes to Westminster.
Great Memories.  Great Man!
Good Luck!
Bill Long

Happy Birthday Bill! It is in my bucket list to get to visit with you in person. My bucket list is full of hopes and dreams but this is one I would like to click off. I like the rest here take great pleasure reading your posts. 85 is just a number and not something to take to seriously or to dwell on.
At 80 I did have to give up my dream of becoming a world famous river dancer. Come to think of it to waltz I would have to be standing on the feet of seven foot, 400 pound amazon of a gal with size 17 feet.

Computer took a crap last week and I am just getting sites up and running on a new hard drive. About as hard for me as river dancing. If I was one to swear the room would have been blue.

Bill, hope you have a great "Number 85" and many more to follow. Being that you are one of the more wiser and senior members on here I always read your posts to see what information and memories you have to share.

Happy Birthday Bill!  I also always enjoy your posts.  Always positive and helpful, as well as the best source of first hand knowledge, being you were there when these tractors were new!  Keep your knowledge and stories coming for many more years!

Happy Birthday

Enjoy reading your posted messages.  I really enjoy reading about your favorite, the Allis Chalmers model B.  The B is also a very favorite of mine.  The B was the first tractor my father taught me to drive.  He always used the B to pick up hay by putting the tractor in low gear.  He jumped off , loaded bales, and walked beside the tractor to steer the tractor across the field.  A one man operation loading the roto bales on the wagon.  He had me drive the tractor when I was 10 years old so he didn't have to load bales, drive the tractor, and jump on at the end.

I wish you many more years of posting on this site.

Looking back at the old Forum and how our handle would include the state we live in, and it was a bid deal when we found a way to post pictures and the chat room.  Keep up the great posts. Hope to see you at the shows.
